Mitochondria
Measuring and Activating Mitochondria
Focus on your cell power
Mitochondria are the power plants of cells. Some cells have more mitochondria than others. Your brain cells, for example, are teeming with these small organelles. The same applies to your heart. Muscle cells also have a fairly large number of mitochondria. They are actually bacteria that crept into our cells at the beginning of life and without which we can no longer live today.
Mitochondria – source of energy
The mitochondria produce vital adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which supplies our body with energy. ATP is needed for every process in the body. If there is a lack of this energy, many things no longer function properly. You increasingly lose physical strength, become tired, listless, overweight and sooner or later ill. We call this mitochondriopathy.
Such damage or dysfunction of mitochondria can be associated with various diseases as well as with symptoms of ageing.
The Key Role of Mitochondrial Function
Mitochondrial dysfunction or top form?
In the context of bioenergetics, mitochondrial function is an essential aspect for understanding pathological mechanisms. Mitochondria are the starting point for the development of new therapeutic strategies. In modern medicine, they are regarded as biomarkers for the progression of diseases such as neurodegeneration, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The performance and condition of your mitochondria provide us with a perfect early warning system as to whether your body system may be heading towards a bioenergetic crisis.
Mitochondrial function as root cause of and solution to many problems
The reason for many seemingly unavoidable diseases of civilization is often impaired energy production – not age. You should take the energy problem and the health of your mitochondria seriously. We do too – and support your mitochondria with the latest functional mitochondrial medicine, blood tuning, innovative device medicine – from cryotherapy to IHHT, neuronal relaxation on the Satori wellness lounger to HBOT, as well as precise instructions for your individual lifestyle adjustment.
Chronic disease as a lack of energy
What happens if we consume too many carbohydrates, if we are constantly stressed by everyday life, if we often reach for painkillers to relieve back pain, if we smoke and do too little exercise and if we are all too happy to enjoy a glass of wine with friends?
All these “little sins” lead to different changes in the body. But they all have one thing in common: they damage the mitochondria. Permanently! With fatal consequences for your vital energy and your health.
Pure energy for live
Energy feels good. It gives us the drive, motivation and strength to enjoy our lives to the fullest. Unfortunately, there are a number of reasons why mitochondria cannot work efficiently and we therefore lack the necessary energy – at every turn. Nutrient deficiencies, genetic mutations or free radicals, for example, can significantly impair mitochondrial function.
Laboratory tests in conjunction with a thorough medical history and examination are important to measure how your mitochondrial function is doing and to develop individual cause-related treatment concepts for you.
Rejuvenate mitochondria
There are various approaches to get the mitochondria fit again. These include various vital substances. Relatively new studies are testing the food supplements NR (nicotinamide riboside) and NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide). And also the good old vitamin B3. NR and NMN prolong life in mice. Heart, circulation, muscles and sugar metabolism benefit, inflammation decreases.
What are these substances? Quite simply, they are the starting materials for NAD+, an active substance that we need in our mitochondria to produce ATP. Unfortunately, NAD+ is used up over the years for more and more repair and other age-related work in the body. Our cellular power plants then lack it. Unfortunately, we cannot absorb NAD+ directly. But its precursors NR and NMN arrive in our cells.

Full Mitochondrial Energy for Health & Longevity
We know of many approaches to treat impaired mitochondrial function very effectively.
Benefit from strong mitochondria!
The accumulation of damage to molecules, cells and tissues over the course of a lifetime contributes massively to ageing. It ultimately leads to frailty and dysfunction. And this is exactly what we at the Swiss Center for Health & Longevity want to delay for you for as long as possible!
We do everything we can to ensure that your mitochondria – in as large a number as possible – work at full capacity and constantly supply energy. Good and active mitochondrial function makes for a stronger brain and a stronger body. Use the latest medical devices and infusions for more vital energy.
Why we age – or don´t?
Because more than 90% of cellular energy is produced by the mitochondria, their importance in medicine has increased significantly in recent years. A variety of disorders caused by mintochondrial dysfunction are summarized under the term mitochondriopathy. Aging is also associated with increasing dysfunctions and the associated loss of energy. If the mitochondria weaken, cell function decreases and degeneration occurs in all affected organs.
It’s the mitochondria
what counts!
The mitochondria are the last stop for obtaining energy from food and oxygen. There are a variety of reasons why they cannot function efficiently, from nutrient deficiencies to genetic mutations. Reactive oxygen species from endogenous and exogenous sources can significantly impair mitochondrial function.
The electron transport chain is one of the main producers of reactive oxygen species. Laboratory testing in conjunction with a thorough history and examination is important to understand how mitochondrial function may be impaired and how to best target potential treatment plans. In addition, mitochondrial dysfunction in stem cells reduces the ability for tissue regeneration.
